1. this ad made me smile and feel safe...

[quickesst]

5. it is extremely reassuring

He is the one.

[Princetonian]

41. It has a general election statesman feel to it yet Joe hits Trump hard.

2. It's a good ad that Mika initially tried to disparage but Scarborough cut her off w effusive praise

I thought that a bit ironic. I hope this doesn't mean Mika is going to do her "Hilary Clinton" attack on whoever ends up our candidate. Boy, can she be just awful when she wants to be.

[dem4decades]

3. What on earth did Mika find wrong with it?

Does she favor one of the other candidates?

It's really an ad against Trump.

And for Joe of course.

[hlthe2b]

4. I don't know. She got that snarky look on her face and started to address it and Joe cut her off.

[quickesst]

7. maybe this will help people understand...

....that despite his past, I am an avid defender of Joe Scarborough. His last couple of years on the air is enough atonement for me. I don't think anyone tears drump a new one like he does.

[hlthe2b]

9. Not surprised at Joe's reaction, but rather Mika's... n/t

[Demsrule86]

11. I agree. And I feel bad for him...I think the demise of the GOP conservative party into this

shameful white nationalist party of Trump must be very painful for him.

[oldsoftie]

14. I missed that, but i do tire of her sighing, groaning, etc on whatever topic.

Not to mention using MSNBC to push her "know your value" books and events constantly.

[zaj]

20. MSNBC owns this books too...

... I assure you that.

[oldsoftie]

23. Well that would make perfect sense then, wouldnt it. Never thought of that.

[Demsrule86]

6. Wonderful campaign ad...just great like Joe...thanks. K&R.

[quickesst]

8. whoever put that ad together....

.... knows what they are doing

[Demsrule86]

10. Yes they do...love the visual on this post.

[quickesst]

49. they're going to play it again....

....on Morning Joe in a few minutes.

[Sugarcoated]

46. At the end

Narrator didn't say "Joe Biden for president", he said "Joe Biden. President"

Brilliant messaging

[quickesst]

50. "Brilliant messaging"

Absolutely. No gaffes here.

[Cha]

52. Wow! The time first I saw it I

was in a hurry.. so I just went back 'cause you said "President Biden".. sure enough!

That is Brilliant messaging! trump's gonna love the way accurate way he's described in it.

[FakeNoose]

12. This is great - remember that we need the independents

... and Joe can bring them in.

[oldsoftie]

13. I like it; all positive, no negative.

[onetexan]

15. I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!!

Bravo Joe Biden. You make us proud to be true Americans!

[MattInMN]

16. Didn't know Barack Obama was running for a third term.

Did anybody tell #MoscowMitch?

[quickesst]

29. Joe was Barack Obama's vice president....

.... and they shared a lot of the same goals and ideals for this country's well being. My first question to you would be, what makes you think Joe Biden would completely alter his message, goals, and ideology simply for the sake of not "being Obama"?

And secondly, what if, hypothetically, Barack Obama we're running for a third term, you would not vote for him?
I am trying to understand the logic behind your statement, even filtering out the snark.

[Cha]

31. Maybe you "didn't know" because Obama

is not running.. Joe Biden, his Vice President, is.


Thank You!

[MustLoveBeagles]

44. He's not

There's nothing wrong with Joe highlighting his time as VP in the ad. In the 2000 presidential race Al Gore did everything he could to distance himself from Bill Clinton and that was a mistake.


Welcome to DU

[Sloumeau]

17. Go Joe¡!!!!!!

[highplainsdem]

18. Great ad! Gave me goosebumps, at about halfway through, after

the summary of the Obama/Biden admin's accomplishments, when the narrator says, "NOW, Joe Biden is running for president..."

Perfect emphasis on the word "now" there, pivoting from the past to the present and future.

And I see they're using the wonderful photo of Obama and Biden in the Oval Office that I posted last month after crazytown located it.

19. Great Commercial, IMHO

Way to go, Joe!

[Gothmog]

21. This is a truly great ad

[lunasun]

22. Excellent!

[Scurrilous]

24. K&R

[Princetonian]

25. Move over, David Axelrod.

[Freethinker65]

26. Outa the park, baby!! And Biden is not my first choice.

[Vinca]

27. This is one of the best ads I've seen. I've been reluctant to move in anyone's direction,

but Joe is really growing on me. He's got that "don't worry, it'll be okay" thing going for him. Plus I love Jill. She would make a spectacular FLOTUS. He's the only one I feel pretty confident could beat Trump. Still a long way until the February primary in NH, but that's where I am now. He could choose a younger Democrat - either a woman or minority - as VP so we can make the transition to a new generation at the top.

[njhoneybadger]

28. It's a winner

[Cha]

30. WOW! That is Brilliant, quickesst!

Thank You!

Of course, Biden's going to be proud of his resume! Good on this excellent ad.. and Thank You!

[quickesst]

32. you're welcome Cha!

I couldn't wait to share this with everyone. I literally posted it like, 2 seconds after I heard it on Morning Joe, and that took one second too long.

[Cha]

33. I was going to tell you..

Good Find!

[emmaverybo]

34. "No one is more qualified" is a statement of fact. Terrific ad. You go, Joe!

[quickesst]

35. to everyone replying....

....commenting, and sharing. Thank you. All of you are the best.

[Cha]

36. So are you, quickesst! And.. you're

[quickesst]

39. Thanks Cha

[Cha]

37. P.S. I tagged you in a post here..

Perfect in every way.

[onetexan]

60. in deed, and Beto for VEEP would be cherry on top!

[nini]

45. Great ad

I know Kamala is in my sig line but i do love Biden too.

And yes.. I know some here won't get that one bit.

[Cha]

48. Good to know, nini!

We have more than a few Biden allies who remember well what Biden did to help President Obama those 8 years.. although he's not their first choice.

[Cha]

47. Look what I just lifted from Iamaartist!

[Cha]

56. LOL!

[quickesst]

58. Heh...

[handmade34]

our soul desperately needs restoration!!!

[quickesst]

57. Joe Biden said it best himself....

Apr 25, 2019 · “We are in the battle for the soul of this nation,”

[marybourg]

59. "Erratic, vicious, bullying President"

Glad to hear him say that. Sorry that it's true.

[quickesst]

61. definitely not a truth....

.... that I would like to be hearing about the current president. Or should I say resident?

[Fritz Walter]

62. This ad is making headlines today, too!

Sorry that you have to listen to cadet bone spurs lie on camera, but the message is clear. And absolutely relevant!
